@CrimsonDesert_ You should also apologize (and fix) the block on Intel Arc.

We would like to address questions regarding the use of AI in Crimson Desert. During development, some 2D visual props were created as part of early-stage iteration using experimental AI generative tools. These assets helped us rapidly explore tone and atmosphere in the earlier phases of production. However, our intention has always been for any such assets to be replaced, following final work and review by our art and development teams, with work that aligned with our quality standards and creative direction. Following reports from our community, we have identified that some of these assets were unintentionally included in the final release. This is not in line with our internal standards, and we take full responsibility for it. We also acknowledge that we should have clearly disclosed our use of AI. While these tools were primarily used during early production, with the expectation that these assets would be replaced prior to release, we recognize that this does not excuse the lack of transparency. We sincerely apologize for these oversights. We are currently conducting a comprehensive audit of all in-game assets and are taking steps to replace any affected content. Updated assets will be rolled out in upcoming patches. In parallel, we are reviewing and strengthening our internal processes to ensure greater transparency and consistency in how we communicate with players moving forward.

#DeathStranding2 #DeathStranding Going to run it back to back Platinums. Only a couple hours into my replay, already noticing things that I missed or newly added for the PC release. Hard to believe it looks even better than it did on PS5 (Pro).

I wish I could experience the beginning of Death Stranding 2 again for the first time. Might be my favorite game intro ever. I watch my reaction back from time to time just to feel something 😭

@deathsstranding About to run it back.

Need more death stranding mutuals

@unusual_whales I’m sure they did, just like they said they didn’t sell GPUs directly to crypto miners.

U.S. tech execs smuggled Nvidia chips to China, per CNBC

@4NGELWING WF1000XM5 are some of the best earbud I’ve ever owned. Sony has some of the dumbest naming schemes ever but great products.

no bro don’t buy airpods. you need the Sony WH-1000XM5-WHCH720N-WF1000XM5-CH520

@NeilNevins The Nirvanna boys going for 30 Rock level of joke density.

The flippant “someone else got a show at the Rivoli” being Adele. Just jokes upon jokes.

I cannot believe my life lasted long enough for computers to stop being fun.

Ride on shooting star - the pillows (2000) the pillows debuted on a major label in 1991 as a three-piece Japanese rock band and, over 35 years, established a distinctive presence within the Japanese rock scene. After the departure of founding leader Kenji Ueda in 1993, Sawao Yamanaka took over as the central figure of the band. Through various transitions, the group gradually solidified its signature sound. From the mid-to-late 1990s onward, they came to define themselves through a stripped-down yet tightly structured guitar rock style, shaping the image most closely associated with the band today. Their music is generally built on comfortable rhythms and melodic sensibilities, though they also possess many fast-tempo, stylish tracks. They have cited the influence of overseas bands such as Pixies, and are known to admire fellow Japanese rock band Thee Michelle Gun Elephant. In 2000, their recognition expanded significantly when numerous songs were featured on the soundtrack of FLCL. The strong synergy between the series and their music helped broaden their fanbase. While consistently releasing albums and singles and maintaining year-round touring activities, vocalist Sawao Yamanaka also remained active through solo projects and label management. However, following their performance on January 31, 2025, the band officially announced their disbandment, bringing 35 years of activity to a close.

Imagine talking to 2001 you and being like yeah afroman actually won a pretty big first amendment case

"In all circumstances, the jury finds in favor of the defendant"

@Zogi_AF @ShitpostGate Huge difference between a LS7 and LS3/L87. Most of the time when you see this they are L87s and make less power than an LS3. LS7 intake will not fit any other motors (without an adapter).

@ShitpostGate Thats really not that big of a difference 6.2 with 440 hp vs 7.0 with 500 hp and its probably even closer if they reused intake and exhaust manifolds

28 years later and this still being the best live action Resident Evil we ever gotten.🥀

@_subtxt_ I liked 3D, I wish it was still a thing. I loved my Sony Bravia KDL-55HX800, killer 2D performance and great 3D. Shame I had to retire it. Now NFTs… always hated that.

Most of this list isn’t even true. But the last two “innovations,” I’ve hated as much as DLSS 5 were 3D TVs and NFTs, so I’m hoping to go 3 for 3 with funneling my hatred for good.

Kojima Production is Decima mogging Nvidia with a base PlayStation 5. DLSS5 cortisol levels spiked beyond measure.

@oopmouth11 @IGN Get Decima mogged running on a base PlayStation 5, Kojima Production spiking DLSS cortisol to previously unimaginable levels.

@IGN Gamers have ALL been waiting for lifelike graphics for 30+ years. Literally. Intently. What the fuck is happening. This is the best thing to happen gaming in years you fucking absolute fake gamer clowns.

Opinion: Nvidia DLSS 5 is a slap in the face to the art of video game design. bit.ly/4rA0WuA

@xonebros I know exactly why. It looks awful and destroys the original intention of the art direction. It turns it into generic AI garbage we’ve been flooded with. Decima (Death Stranding) is Photo Realistic, DLSS5 is AI slop.

The online bros hate DLSS 5 and they don't even know why. 10 years ago if someone showed you a GPU that could generate photorealistic pixels in real time you would have lost your mind. Now NVIDIA announces exactly that and people are mad because the word "AI" is in it. Anyone saying otherwise is lying to you.

@georgebsocial It’s optional till it’s not. Kinda like current DLSS, even with top tier cards (if you can get them). You need DLSS to get decent frame rates. So the grass will have to wait.

I see lots of bitching about DLSS 5. To me it just illustrates how many ppl online just want to be unhappy and bitch about everything all the time. I would assume 1) it's optional and 2) you can toggle it so 3) touch grass for fuck's sake.

@kidsmoove I’m here with the AI slop you wanted.

I’m sorry don’t bring that “AI slop” commentary to me you fucking dorks. DLSS 5 is amazing. My eyes vs your emotions, my eyes will always win. F*ck outta here with that virtual signaling bullshit
